Product Description

Lonitab 2.5mg is a prescription medicine containing the powerful antihypertensive agent minoxidil. It is used to treat high blood pressure in patients whose blood pressure has not been controlled or who are experiencing unwanted effects from other medications. Lonitab is usually taken with other medications.

It contains the active ingredient Minoxidil, which acts by relaxing and enlarging certain blood vessels to allow more blood to flow easily. Many people suffer from high blood pressure, but most do not need Lonitab tablets. These minoxidil tablets are used only when your blood pressure is severe, causing damage to vital organs, and other medications are not effective enough or have very disturbing adverse effects.

Precautions

Precaution with Minoxidil tablets

You should not take Lonitab tablets if you are allergic to Minoxidil or any other components of this medication.

‒ Caution is advised when considering its usage in case of hepatic impairment.

‒ When considering Oral Lonitab, it is advisable to consider dose reduction for people with kidney insufficiency.

‒ It is not advisable to use oral Minoxidil in pregnant women as clinical studies indicated specific adverse effects in pregnant women.

‒ As Minoxidil is believed to be excreted in breast milk, its usage is not suggested in breastfeeding women.

‒ Elderly patients should be started with a lower dose as clinicians recommend an increased risk of falls in this population.

Side Effects

Side effects of Minoxidil tablets

Even if you take all the medications correctly, Lonitab 2.5 mg may cause unwanted effects. Some of these Lonitab 2.5 mg side effects are serious; the medicine should be taken under the close supervision of a healthcare provider. You must seek immediate medical help if you develop the following warning signs:

‒ Increase in heart rate: Measuring your heart rate at resting stage is important. If your heartbeat increases by 20 beats or more a minute compared to your normal pulse, seek immediate medical help.

‒ Rapid weight gain: You should measure your weight regularly. If you experience rapid weight gain from five or more pounds or develop swelling or puffiness on the face, stomach area, hands, or ankles, these could indicate that you retain body fluids. In this case, your healthcare provider may change your medications or alter the dosage of medicines. Furthermore, you may be advised to reduce the amount of salt in your diet.

‒ Increased breathing problems: Increased breathing problems, especially when lying down. This also happens because of the elevated levels of body fluids. In some cases, it happens because of the worsening of high blood pressure. In both cases, you require a change of the medications.

‒ Dizziness or fainting: Your high blood pressure levels may cause you to feel dizzy and lightheaded, or your other medications may cause these side effects.

‒ New or worsening pain in the chest, arm, or shoulder: These are the clear signs of heart problems.

How to Use

How to use Minoxidil tablets?

Usually, Lonitab 2.5 mg tablet is prescribed with two other medications to help lower blood pressure and prevent the unwanted effects of Minoxidil. When Minoxidil tablets lower blood pressure, your body makes all efforts to return the blood pressure to the original high level. It is believed to hold onto water and salt and speed up your heartbeat. So, to prevent this action in your body, your healthcare provider will prescribe a water tablet to eliminate extra fluids from your body and another medicine to slow down your heartbeat.

When taking Lonitab tablets, you must follow your healthcare specialist's instructions and take all the prescribed medications in the right amount. When you begin treatment, your healthcare specialist may need to see you often to adjust your dose. Avoid skipping any doses. If you forget to skip the dose of Minoxidil, you must wait till it is time for your next dose, then continue with your regular dosing schedule.
